Obama has increased the number of drone strikes as well as their locations and it is known to the public at large (and definitely to him) that these drone strikes are causing civilians to die. Since killing civilians is a war crime and Obama knows that these drone strikes do sometimes kill civilians, is Obama a war criminal?
Please note that I am not saying that the drone strikes kill only civilians, rather that they just kill civilians in general.

The war criminals are our enemies who hide in and amongst civilians as a military strategy.

Please note as well that I am not saying that Obama is a war criminal, I'm just posing the question is all.
If Bush was a war criminal, then Obama is a war criminal.
Well that depends, is Obama still allowing people to be tortured?Allowing prisoners to be packed into cattle trucks and shot into a mass grave? If so then yes I would say he is but as far as I know he hasn't so I wont label him yet. But then again the fact that he even is still continuing these stupid wars makes him almost as bad as Bush, and Bush was a war criminal.

War itself is criminal...As is ,IMO, a disrespect of others.You libs have got to bring Bush into everything.
Curious. Did Bush pack those people into those trucks and shoot them? Did American troops?

Aw ok I see were your going with this and I think that argument falls short because everyone else when debating about Stalin or Hitler always brings up " O well they killed so many people" but nobaody ever says " well did Hitler kill those people or was it German troops?" But you could repley "well Hitler gave the order and so in a way he did kill all those people" Now no Bush did not literaly pack these people in and shoot them but theres no way he didn't know about and he did nothing to stop and/or condem the people who did. For all I know he could have ordered this but we don't know that he did so I wont go down that road, but Bush had to have known and he did nothing I'd say that makes him somewhat liable ya know being commander and cheif and all at the time.

To even think than any American President is criminal is "not so good"
This silliness belongs in the sewer, maybe the basement.

On the contrary. I think many Presidents in the past have done things that can totally be considered illegal or criminal. Just look at the course of US foreign policy in this last century. No international body is capable of enforcing international law and holding such people accountable.
However to blame Bush of the Dasht-i-Leili Massacre is rather absurd imo.

Bush didn't order the killing of these prisoners. Does that answer your question?Aw ok I see were your going with this and I think that argument falls short because everyone else when debating about Stalin or Hitler always brings up " O well they killed so many people" but nobaody ever says " well did Hitler kill those people or was it German troops?"

I agree with you. Past presidents (not all of course), from Truman on IMO, have been at least accessories to war crimes.
You cannot blame Bush as he most likely did not know about it, but, and this is a maybe, some US SF personnel did know, because what happened at the beginning of the war in Afghanistan was that A-teams were sent to aid several NA commanders and the A-teams and NA Commanders, at the beginning of the war, were together 24/7.
